    On the PM's EU reform bid, Harriet Harman asks David Cameron to confirm that there will be no change to the EU's treaties ahead of the in/out vote by 2017 . She tells the House: "Of course negotiations are sensitive but it's evident that even the people he is negotiating with are not entirely clear what he is negotiating for," she says, and claims that neither are the British people.

  8. Harman on EUpublished at 15:52

    Turning to the EU, Harriet Harman sounds a warning about the potential impact of a Greek exit from the euro on Britain. Addressing the problem of migration, she says the UK should offer to help refugees who have fled from persecution.

  9. 'Extremist ideology'published at 15:49

    The acting Labour leader says the death toll in Syria and Iraq continues to rise "relentlessly", and cites the recent terror attacks last Friday. She presses the prime minister for more information on the international efforts to prevent the spread of terrorism.

    "This violence stems from an extremist ideology which hijacks the religion of Islam", Ms Harman says, and adds that the UK must be resolute in standing up for values, such as peace, freedom of speech and equality.

    Time for acting Labour leader Harriet Harman to respond to the PM's statement. She offers the House's heartfelt condolences to the relatives and friends of those killed in the Tunisian beach attack. "We can't begin to understand what they must be going through," she says. Ms Harman thanks the PM for updating the House on the UK's response.

  12. 'Tenacity and patience'published at 15:45

    On his EU reform objectives, David Cameron says formal talks have now begun and will be reconsidered at the next summit in December. The talks will take "tenacity and patience" but change is possible - shown by his attempt to cut the EU budget in the last Parliament, he says. 

  13. Cameron on EU summitpublished at 15:44

    Turning to the European Council summit, David Cameron is setting out what steps were taken by European leaders to tackle the Mediterranean migrants crisis. He says that focusing primarily on setting up a relocation scheme would be "counter-productive" as it makes the "smugglers' business model" more attractive - rather than breaking it. The UK will not take part, but will enhance plans to resettle the most vulnerable refugees from outside the EU, particularly from Syria, he adds.

  14. Training exercise plannedpublished at 15:41

    The House is listening in respectful silence as David Cameron makes his statement on the floor of the Commons. He tells the chamber that British security services will carry out a major anti-terror training exercise in London this week, to test capabilities.

  15. 'We will stand with them'published at 15:40

    The prime minister pays thanks to the Tunisian authorities for their assistance throughout this "horrific ordeal". On the Foreign Office's travel advice, he says it will not be advising against visiting Tunisia resorts. These are difficult judgements, he tells MPs, but he adds: "Until we've defeated this threat we must resolve as a country to carry on living our lives alongside it."

    These terrorists tried to strike at places of hope... but the Tunisians and Kuwaitis will not have that hope taken away from them. They will not be cowed by terror and we will stand with them."

  16. PM: RAF will repatriate Tunisian deadpublished at 15:36

    David Cameron says all of last Friday's terror attacks - in Tunisia, France and Kuwait - were driven by the same "perverse ideology", but he says there is no evidence to suggest that they were directly co-ordinated. He is now citing what steps the UK is doing to help those affected by the attack in Tunisia, and confirms that the Royal Air Force will repatriate all deceased, if their loved ones so wish.

  17. Cameron statementpublished at 15:34

    David Cameron says at least 18 British nationals were killed in last Friday's Tunisian terror attack, with the death toll likely to rise further. These were innocent people, he says, and offers his condolences to their friends and families. He announces that there will be a national one-minute silence on Friday.

    The Labour Party has said the government needs to make it clear it has no intention of dropping the Olympics Games from the protected events list, after Eurosport was awarded the European television rights for the games for 2018-2024. 

    Shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, Chris Bryant, also called on Eurosport to clarify its plans for UK coverage "as a matter of urgency".  

    Quote Message

    The British people love the Olympic and Paralympic Games, so it is vital that the full range of sports remain on free-to-air TV and don’t disappear behind a subscription."

  20. 'Comprehensive' terror response requiredpublished at 15.16

    The prime minister's promise of a "full spectrum" response to the Tunisian and other recent terror attacks is not new thinking but reflects a long held view that the response to violence must be comprehensive in its approach. It eschews the tabloid palliative of the "send in the SAS" and acknowledges the need to look at a broad range of activities ranging from immigration controls, security precautions, and support to foreign governments to battling militant ideology.
